Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson is set to get first pick of the young players to be made available for loan from Manchester United.
The Blades boss has stated his intent to work the loan market in much the same way that ex-colleagues Roy Keane at Sunderland and Steve Bruce at Birmingham did last season.
Keane took two promising defenders from Sir Alex Ferguson's reserve squad last season and Robson has his eyes on three outstanding candidates from the current crop, who are ready to make the step up to Championship football.
Youth team captain Craig Cathcart was called up to the first team to cover for injuries in April before an injury struck him down before he could make his debut. But the tall centre-back, 18, is expected to be given the choice of joining several clubs in August with Ipswich Town also interested.
Sounds like we may make get a few decent youngsters.
